Christmas Eve morning the girls did some Christmas crafts while Mimi and I did a bit of cooking.
Then we made our traditional sugar cookies. The girls are getting really good at rolling the dough, using the cookie cutters, and putting it on the cookie sheet by themselves.
Always the favorite part is the over decorating! I mean decorating. Each cookie gets special details and has lots of thought put into it.
Finished product!
Then we all got cleaned up for church.

While we were gone at church Suzie (our elf) left the girls a note and a present to open.
Christmas PJ's
The girls doing their thing
After setting milk and cookies out for Santa and reading The Night Before Christmas it was bed time.
The girls got up around 7 and ready to go. Santa brought Kendall an American Girl scooter, a necklace, and a pair of white Converse. Taylor got rollerblades, a helmet, and a "T" hairbrush from Justice.
Stocking were stuff with all kinds of goodies, gum, body spray, glass cases nail files, and hair goodies. Santa put a thermometer and an ace bandage in her stocking! She was super excited about those.
Taylor also got some new "glasses"
Into the present they went. More American Girl stuff
Mimi and Poppy got them their second American Girl doll, McKenna for Kendall and Kaya for Taylor

Taylor couldn't wait to try out her new rollerblades. She fell a few times at first
but keep trying.
Super happy
Marley was a good girl this year also and got a new bone
After presents and breakfast in true Kendall fashion she had to go put all new things away in their new spots.

The girls played with all their new stuff and relaxed as Carol and I cooked away.
Right as we were fixing our plates to sit down for dinner we watched a section on our fence blow down. It was super windy outside. The street behind us sits about 8 feet below our yard so it had a big fall!
It was a very laid back Christmas with just the 6 of us but it was really nice. We all have a lot to be thankful for and have a blessed year.
